LOL - (SC) Senate Hands Repub Governor His A$$

[Skip Intro]

overrides almost all Gov. Sanford's budget cuts.

Gov. Sanford proposed just over 100 budget cuts a week or so ago. The SC Senate this week basically said, FU, Gov. Sanford. They overturned all but nine of them. Just another repuke who screams, "more money for war and tax cuts for the rich" while at the same time saying "no money left for the needy, the elderly, the sick, the environment - no money left for America or her people."

Maybe I should have put this in the state forum, but I just love it when a repub gets his a** handed to him.

1. That's just great!

I love SC. I go to Hunting Island and Beaufort about twice a year. If I didn't live here, I'd move down to Beaufort.

2. And bush* is spending $1,000,000,000 (one BILLION) a WEEK in...

Iraq.

Divide one billion by 50 States and that's $20,000,000 EACH per WEEK right there.

Shame on you bush* and shame on you Gov Sanford.
